This week, we wanted to discuss the recent events going on in the world that could be leading to a possible recession. Todd explains the best way to keep your money safe during these harsh times

Last Friday, we released our latest property in Brantford, ON, but unfortunately due to the limited number of units, not everyone who was interested was able to get a property.

As we approach the end of the decade, Todd wants to give a recap of the most important developments that changed Real Estate this year. Starting off slow in January, we explain how Real Estate was able to recover and look at the strongest markets this year. We even talk about everything from the US/China trade disagreements to the impeachment of President Trump and how all these events in 2019 will affect Real Estate.

We’re talking about the election today. What’s going to happen now that we’ve got a minority Liberal government? How are future changes going to impact Real Estate, and will they be able to keep their commitments?

We’re going to be focusing on what's going on in the election and some promises they're making for real estate. But before we go down that road, let's talk about what the fall markets doing. It is turning out to be a great fall market. Seems like interest rates are going to stay where they are. We know that the US FED has continued to reduce interest rates.

We've been hearing a lot about interest rates and where they could be going over the next few months. We want to cover that today before moving on to a quick announcement.

We've got to talk about what's going on in the economy, and we have some staggering news coming across just about every single news source in the world. Everybody's calling recession, and right now. Taking a look at the bond yields there is an inverted market. What does that mean? That means returns are going down on the bonds and everything's pretty much backwards.

Last week we talked about Real Estate Speculation, and we, specifically, looked at how houses and other buildings can be a good investment. This week we're looking at speculation from a different perspective. We are going to discuss Land Banking, the buying and selling of land, and all the different strategies you can use to make it as profitable as possible. However, before we can get to that of course, we have to discuss this week's latest Real Estate news.

As we promised last week, we'll be taking a look at what makes someone a Real Estate Speculator, today, but before we get there let's talk about the real estate market in general.
